Brannan mini pitchBrannan Park contains one of Auburn's most heavily used sports complexes. The City sponsors many sports events at Brannan Park. Cascade Middle School users and a variety of organizations, including youth soccer leagues and little league, also use the playing fields extensively. Brannan Park is on a flat, open site, with the Green River forming the park's eastern boundary. There is a loop trail within the park that will eventually connect to the Green River Trail.  The remaining sides are bounded by residential housing, which is highly visible from the park.

On October 19, volunteers from the Auburn community and The Auburn Food Bank teamed up with KaBOOM! and Delta Air Lines to build a new playground. Over 250 individuals from community groups, service clubs, businesses, faith-based organizations, scout troops, schools, social service agencies, families and individual citizens joined forces with Delta Air Lines employees and representatives from KaBOOM! to transform the space in just six hours.

Park History

Named after the families of brothers William and Joseph Brannan who homesteaded in the White River Valley in the mid 1800s. William Brannan and his wife were killed during the early Indian wars. Joseph married Sarah Henness in 1857. They purchased the Meeker Farm in Kent in 1858, and finally moved to their donation claim near Auburn in 1868. The park was dedicated in 1966.
